dbrand Grip Case & Prism Glass for iPhone Duo: First Look

Quick summary: Before my iPhone Duo arrived, I got a first look at the dbrand Grip case and Prism glass on a dummy unit. It has full protection including the hinge, skin support, MagSafe magnets, and the easiest glass screen protector install I’ve done. This video is not sponsored. I just really like these cases.

Key takeaways

• Full protection: hinge, top, bottom, sides and a raised lip around the cameras.
• Grip texture: it’s not going to slip out of your hand.
• Customizable with dbrand skins on the back.
• MagSafe magnets built in, so wireless charging works.
• Prism glass comes as a two-pack with a cleaning kit, and installs in seconds.
• I showed this on a dummy unit. A full review comes once I have the real phone.

The Grip case

dbrand’s cases are crazy strong. I’ve used them for years and never broken or scratched a phone in one. On the iPhone Duo, the Grip covers the hinge, bottom, sides and top, with great protection around the rear cameras. The grip texture is the best part: the phone just won’t fall out of your hand. It’s my favorite case dbrand makes.

Skins

You can put dbrand skins on the back of the case, so you’re not stuck with plain black. It’s an easy way to customize it.

Prism glass screen protector

Prism glass is for the front (cover) display. The box includes:

• Two glass screen protectors
• Four alcohol wipes
• A microfiber cloth
• A squeegee for any air bubbles

Installation is literally the easiest glass screen protector I’ve ever done. Put the frame on top, pull the tab, press down with your finger, lift off, and you’re done. If I can do it, you can.

Wireless charging and the OhSnap grip

The case has magnets built in, so MagSafe works. Someone always asks about the grip on the back: it’s the OhSnap Snapgrip. It works as a stand, you can wirelessly charge through it, and it’s comfortable to hold. I use it on all my phones.

Final thoughts

It adds a little thickness, but if you care about protection, customization and grip, this is the one to get.
